What to do before the Relaxation practices

It is also a common and useful practice to do before yoga postures (asanas) as a way of transitioning from the external world. You will discover that if you do a relaxation practice after some stretches or yoga postures, you are much more able to explore within during the relaxation practice itself. Your attention is now easier to direct in a one-pointed way, and will go deeper. This in turn sets the stage for the subtler breathing practices and meditation itself. Nevertheless, it is still okay to just lie down and do a relaxation practice - this is a wonderful thing to do. It can definitely be done as its own practice, when one has a few minutes and just wants to let go by turning within.
